Wow. We were just treated to an extraordinary display of nature. Thunderstorms, while not uncommon in our neck of the woods, typically pass very quickly. Tonight we had a thunderstorm that went on for a few hours, and is still fading slowly as I write this.
Eliza managed to video tape at least 8 really great bolts that ripped through the night sky. I’ll see if I can get her to post them up online and jot down a description for you all.
While Eliza was doing that, I was trying to take some photos of the bolts, but that is much easier said than done. Out of a little more than one-hundred tries, I was able to get these 24. Out of these 24 only a few are really good. But they were worth the effort and the wait.
Conclusion: Lightning rocks.

Hell yeah lightning rocks. There were some sun showers here but no lightning displays like you had.
You got some wicked pics too.
Yeah. We missed 90% of them. There were bolts every few seconds at points, but I ended up trashing over 100 photos that didn’t have anything in them except black night sky.
Yeah definitely some of the craziest lightning I have ever seen. National Geographic type ish.
WOW.
That is a great shot.
Lightning and thunders scares the heck out of me.
I used to get anxiety and panicky when ever a thundestorm rolled in. But it’s all in the head man.
Took me years to control it but now when a storms comes in, I’m cool. No more panic attacks. LOL
I think I developed that anxiety when I was a little girl.
Someone told me a scary story during and about thunderstorms [made up of course!] and so I always got scared with storms. Weird.
haha
That’s an impressive pic. Sometimes you have to snap away to be sure of getting at least one worth the trouble. x
It was a very powerful storm. It was really enjoyable to sit outside during most of it!
Eliza: Yeah – enjoyable until the hair on your neck stands up.
man, thats awesome. great captures.
That video was great, love a good thunderstorm, we get impressive storms as I am in a valley in Concord, NH.
